-name: create-pull-request
-description: Create a GitHub pull request following project conventions. Use when the user asks to create a PR, submit changes for review, or open a pull request. Handles commit analysis, branch management, and PR creation using the gh CLI tool.
----
-
-# Create Pull Request
-
-This skill guides you through creating a well-structured GitHub pull request that follows project conventions and best practices.
-
-## Prerequisites Check
-
-Before proceeding, verify the following:
-
-### 1. Check if `gh` CLI is installed
-
-```bash
-gh --version
-```
-
-If not installed, inform the user:
-> The GitHub CLI (`gh`) is required but not installed. Please install it:
-> - macOS: `brew install gh`
-> - Other: https://cli.github.com/
-
-### 2. Check if authenticated with GitHub
-
-```bash
-gh auth status
-```
-
-If not authenticated, guide the user to run `gh auth login`.
-
-### 3. Verify clean working directory
-
-```bash
-git status
-```
-
-If there are uncommitted changes, ask the user whether to:
-- Commit them as part of this PR
-- Stash them temporarily
-- Discard them (with caution)
-
-## Gather Context
-
-### 1. Identify the current branch
-
-```bash
-git branch --show-current
-```
-
-Ensure you're not on `main` or `master`. If so, ask the user to create or switch to a feature branch.
-
-### 2. Find the base branch
-
-```bash
-git remote show origin | grep "HEAD branch"
-```
-
-This is typically `main` or `master`.
-
-### 3. Analyze recent commits relevant to this PR
-
-```bash
-git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline --no-decorate
-```
-
-Review these commits to understand:
-- What changes are being introduced
-- The scope of the PR (single feature/fix or multiple changes)
-- Whether commits should be squashed or reorganized
-
-### 4. Review the diff
-
-```bash
-git diff origin/main..HEAD --stat
-```
-
-This shows which files changed and helps identify the type of change.
-
-## Information Gathering
-
-Before creating the PR, you need the following information. Check if it can be inferred from:
-- Commit messages
-- Branch name (e.g., `fix/issue-123`, `feature/new-login`)
-- Changed files and their content
-
-If any critical information is missing, use `ask_followup_question` to ask the user:
-
-### Required Information
-
-1. **Related Issue Number**: Look for patterns like `#123`, `fixes #123`, or `closes #123` in commit messages
-2. **Description**: What problem does this solve? Why were these changes made?
-3. **Type of Change**: Bug fix, new feature, breaking change, refactor, cosmetic, documentation, or workflow
-4. **Test Procedure**: How was this tested? What could break?
-
-### Example clarifying question
-
-If the issue number is not found:
-> I couldn't find a related issue number in the commit messages or branch name. What GitHub issue does this PR address? (Enter the issue number, e.g., "123" or "N/A" for small fixes)
-
-## Git Best Practices
-
-Before creating the PR, consider these best practices:
-
-### Commit Hygiene
-
-1. **Atomic commits**: Each commit should represent a single logical change
-2. **Clear commit messages**: Follow conventional commit format when possible
-3. **No merge commits**: Prefer rebasing over merging to keep history clean
-
-### Branch Management
-
-1. **Rebase on latest main** (if needed):
-   ```bash
-   git fetch origin
-   git rebase origin/main
-   ```
-
-2. **Squash if appropriate**: If there are many small "WIP" commits, consider interactive rebase:
-   ```bash
-   git rebase -i origin/main
-   ```
-   Only suggest this if commits appear messy and the user is comfortable with rebasing.
-
-### Push Changes
-
-Ensure all commits are pushed:
-```bash
-git push origin HEAD
-```
-
-If the branch was rebased, you may need:
-```bash
-git push origin HEAD --force-with-lease
-```
-
-## Create the Pull Request
-
-**IMPORTANT**: Read and use the PR template at `.github/pull_request_template.md`. The PR body format must **strictly match** the template structure. Do not deviate from the template format.
-
-When filling out the template:
-- Replace `#XXXX` with the actual issue number, or keep as `#XXXX` if no issue exists (for small fixes)
-- Fill in all sections with relevant information gathered from commits and context
-- Mark the appropriate "Type of Change" checkbox(es)
-- Complete the "Pre-flight Checklist" items that apply
-
-### Create PR with gh CLI
-
-```bash
-gh pr create --title "PR_TITLE" --body "PR_BODY" --base main
-```
-
-Alternatively, create as draft if the user wants review before marking ready:
-```bash
-gh pr create --title "PR_TITLE" --body "PR_BODY" --base main --draft
-```
-
-## Post-Creation
-
-After creating the PR:
-
-1. **Display the PR URL** so the user can review it
-2. **Remind about CI checks**: Tests and linting will run automatically
-3. **Suggest next steps**:
-   - Add reviewers if needed: `gh pr edit --add-reviewer USERNAME`
-   - Add labels if needed: `gh pr edit --add-label "bug"`
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Common Issues
-
-1. **No commits ahead of main**: The branch has no changes to submit
-   - Ask if the user meant to work on a different branch
-
-2. **Branch not pushed**: Remote doesn't have the branch
-   - Push the branch first: `git push -u origin HEAD`
-
-3. **PR already exists**: A PR for this branch already exists
-   - Show the existing PR: `gh pr view`
-   - Ask if they want to update it instead
-
-4. **Merge conflicts**: Branch conflicts with base
-   - Guide user through resolving conflicts or rebasing
-
-## Summary Checklist
-
-Before finalizing, ensure:
-- [ ] `gh` CLI is installed and authenticated
-- [ ] Working directory is clean
-- [ ] All commits are pushed
-- [ ] Branch is up-to-date with base branch
-- [ ] Related issue number is identified, or placeholder is used
-- [ ] PR description follows the template exactly
-- [ ] Appropriate type of change is selected
-- [ ] Pre-flight checklist items are addressed

-# CLI Development
-
-The CLI lives in `cli/` and uses React Ink for terminal UI.
-
-- If needed, look at `cli/src/constants/colors.ts` for re-used terminal colors, e.g. `COLORS.primaryBlue` highlight color (selections, spinners, success states).
-- Never use `dimColor` with gray (e.g. `<Text color="gray" dimColor>`) - it's too hard to read. Use `color="gray"` for secondary text and normal foreground (no color) for primary text.
-- When thinking about how to handle state or messages from core, look at webview for how it communicates with the vs code extension.
-- When updating the webview, consider and suggest to the user to update the CLI TUI since we want to provide a similar experience to our terminal users as we do our vs code extension users.
-
-## Adding New API Providers
-
-When adding a new API provider to the extension, you must also update the CLI:
-
-1. **Update `cli/src/components/ModelPicker.tsx`**: Add the provider to the `providerModels` map so `getDefaultModelId()` returns the correct default model. Import the models and default ID from `@shared/api`:
-   ```typescript
-   import { newProviderDefaultModelId, newProviderModels } from "@/shared/api"
-
-   export const providerModels = {
-     // ...existing providers
-     "new-provider": { models: newProviderModels, defaultId: newProviderDefaultModelId },
-   }
-   ```
-
-2. **Use `applyProviderConfig()` for auth flows**: When implementing OAuth or other auth flows for the provider, use the shared utility at `cli/src/utils/provider-config.ts`:
-   ```typescript
-   import { applyProviderConfig } from "../utils/provider-config"
-
-   // After successful auth:
-   await applyProviderConfig({ providerId: "new-provider", controller })
-   ```
-   This handles setting provider, default model, API key mapping, state persistence, and rebuilding the API handler.
-
-3. **Provider-specific auth**: If the provider uses OAuth (like `openai-codex`), add handling in `SettingsPanelContent.tsx`'s `handleProviderSelect` callback. See the existing Codex OAuth flow as a reference.

-
-**When to add to this file:**
-- User had to intervene, correct, or hand-hold
-- Multiple back-and-forth attempts were needed to get something working
-- You discovered something that required reading many files to understand
-- A change touched files you wouldn't have guessed
-- Something worked differently than you expected
-- User explicitly asks to "add this to CLAUDE.md"

-
-## Miscellaneous
-- This is a VS Code extension—check `package.json` for available scripts before trying to verify builds (e.g., `npm run compile`, not `npm run build`).
-- When creating PRs, if the change is user-facing and significant enough to warrant a changelog entry, run `npm run changeset` and create a patch changeset. Never create minor or major version bumps. Skip changesets for trivial fixes, internal refactors, or minor UI tweaks that users wouldn't notice.
-- When adding new feature flags, see this PR as a reference https://github.com/cline/cline/pull/7566
-- Additional instructions about making requests: @.clinerules/network.md
-
-## gRPC/Protobuf Communication
-The extension and webview communicate via gRPC-like protocol over VS Code message passing.
-
-**Proto files live in `proto/`** (e.g., `proto/cline/task.proto`, `proto/cline/ui.proto`)
-- Each feature domain has its own `.proto` file
-- For simple data, use shared types in `proto/cline/common.proto` (`StringRequest`, `Empty`, `Int64Request`)
-- For complex data, define custom messages in the feature's `.proto` file
-- Naming: Services `PascalCaseService`, RPCs `camelCase`, Messages `PascalCase`
-- For streaming responses, use `stream` keyword (see `subscribeToAuthCallback` in `account.proto`)
-
-**Run `npm run protos`** after any proto changes—generates types in:
-- `src/shared/proto/` - Shared type definitions
-- `src/generated/grpc-js/` - Service implementations
-- `src/generated/nice-grpc/` - Promise-based clients
-- `src/generated/hosts/` - Generated handlers
-
-**Adding new enum values** (like a new `ClineSay` type) requires updating conversion mappings in `src/shared/proto-conversions/cline-message.ts`
-
-**Adding new RPC methods** requires:
-- Handler in `src/core/controller/<domain>/`
-- Call from webview via generated client: `UiServiceClient.scrollToSettings(StringRequest.create({ value: "browser" }))`
-
-**Example—the `explain-changes` feature touched:**
-- `proto/cline/task.proto` - Added `ExplainChangesRequest` message and `explainChanges` RPC
-- `proto/cline/ui.proto` - Added `GENERATE_EXPLANATION = 29` to `ClineSay` enum
-- `src/shared/ExtensionMessage.ts` - Added `ClineSayGenerateExplanation` type
-- `src/shared/proto-conversions/cline-message.ts` - Added mapping for new say type
-- `src/core/controller/task/explainChanges.ts` - Handler implementation
-- `webview-ui/src/components/chat/ChatRow.tsx` - UI rendering
-
-## Adding a New API Provider
-When adding a new provider (e.g., "openai-codex"), you must update the proto conversion layer in THREE places or the provider will silently reset to Anthropic:
-
-1. `proto/cline/models.proto` - Add to the `ApiProvider` enum (e.g., `OPENAI_CODEX = 40;`)
-2. `convertApiProviderToProto()` in `src/shared/proto-conversions/models/api-configuration-conversion.ts` - Add case mapping string to proto enum
-3. `convertProtoToApiProvider()` in the same file - Add case mapping proto enum back to string
-
-**Why this matters:** Without these, the provider string hits the `default` case and returns `ANTHROPIC`. The webview, provider list, and handler all work fine, but the state silently resets when it round-trips through proto serialization. No error is thrown.
-
-**Other files to update when adding a provider:**
-- `src/shared/api.ts` - Add to `ApiProvider` union type, define models
-- `src/shared/providers/providers.json` - Add to provider list for dropdown
-- `src/core/api/index.ts` - Register handler in `createHandlerForProvider()`
-- `webview-ui/src/components/settings/utils/providerUtils.ts` - Add cases in `getModelsForProvider()` and `normalizeApiConfiguration()`
-- `webview-ui/src/utils/validate.ts` - Add validation case
-- `webview-ui/src/components/settings/ApiOptions.tsx` - Render provider component
-
-## Responses API Providers (OpenAI Codex, OpenAI Native)
-Providers using OpenAI's Responses API require native tool calling. XML tools don't work with the Responses API.
-
-**Symptoms of broken native tool calling:**
-- Tools get called multiple times (e.g., `ask_followup_question` asks the same question twice)
-- Tool arguments get duplicated or malformed
-- The model responds but tools aren't recognized
-
-**Root causes to check:**
-1. **Provider missing from `isNextGenModelProvider()`** in `src/utils/model-utils.ts`. The native variant matchers (e.g., `native-gpt-5/config.ts`) call this function. If your provider isn't in the list, the matcher returns false and falls back to XML tools.
-
-2. **Model missing `apiFormat: ApiFormat.OPENAI_RESPONSES`** in its model info (`src/shared/api.ts`). This property signals that the model requires native tool calling. The task runner in `src/core/task/index.ts` checks this and forces `enableNativeToolCalls: true` regardless of user settings.
-
-**When adding a new Responses API provider:**
-1. Add provider to `isNextGenModelProvider()` list in `src/utils/model-utils.ts`
-2. Set `apiFormat: ApiFormat.OPENAI_RESPONSES` on all models that use the Responses API
-3. The variant matcher and task runner will handle the rest automatically
-
-## Adding Tools to System Prompt
-This is tricky—multiple prompt variants and configs. **Always search for existing similar tools first and follow their pattern.** Look at the full chain from prompt definition → variant configs → handler → UI before implementing.
-
-1. **Add to `ClineDefaultTool` enum** in `src/shared/tools.ts`
-2. **Tool definition** in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/tools/` (create file like `generate_explanation.ts`)
-   - Define variants for each `ModelFamily` (generic, next-gen, xs, etc.)
-   - Export variants array (e.g., `export const my_tool_variants = [GENERIC, NATIVE_NEXT_GEN, XS]`)
-   - **Fallback behavior**: If a variant isn't defined for a model family, `ClineToolSet.getToolByNameWithFallback()` automatically falls back to GENERIC. So you only need to export `[GENERIC]` unless the tool needs model-specific behavior.
-3. **Register in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/tools/init.ts`** - Import and spread into `allToolVariants`
-4. **Add to variant configs** - Each model family has its own config in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/variants/*/config.ts`. Add your tool's enum to the `.tools()` list:
-   - `generic/config.ts`, `next-gen/config.ts`, `gpt-5/config.ts`, `native-gpt-5/config.ts`, `native-gpt-5-1/config.ts`, `native-next-gen/config.ts`, `gemini-3/config.ts`, `glm/config.ts`, `hermes/config.ts`, `xs/config.ts`
-   - **Important**: If you add to a variant's config, make sure the tool spec exports a variant for that ModelFamily (or relies on GENERIC fallback)
-5. **Create handler** in `src/core/task/tools/handlers/`
-6. **Wire up in `ToolExecutor.ts`** if needed for execution flow
-7. **Add to tool parsing** in `src/core/assistant-message/index.ts` if needed
-8. **If tool has UI feedback**: add `ClineSay` enum in proto, update `src/shared/ExtensionMessage.ts`, update `src/shared/proto-conversions/cline-message.ts`, update `webview-ui/src/components/chat/ChatRow.tsx`
-
-## Modifying System Prompt
-**Read these first:** `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/README.md`, `tools/README.md`, `__tests__/README.md`
-
-System prompt is modular: **components** (reusable sections) + **variants** (model-specific configs) + **templates** (with `{{PLACEHOLDER}}` resolution).
-
-**Key directories:**
-- `components/` - Shared sections: `rules.ts`, `capabilities.ts`, `editing_files.ts`, etc.
-- `variants/` - Model-specific: `generic/`, `next-gen/`, `xs/`, `gpt-5/`, `gemini-3/`, `hermes/`, `glm/`, etc.
-- `templates/` - Template engine and placeholder definitions
-
-**Variant tiers (ask user which to modify):**
-- **Next-gen** (Claude 4, GPT-5, Gemini 2.5): `next-gen/`, `native-next-gen/`, `native-gpt-5/`, `native-gpt-5-1/`, `gemini-3/`, `gpt-5/`
-- **Standard** (default fallback): `generic/`
-- **Local/small models**: `xs/`, `hermes/`, `glm/`
-
-**How overrides work:** Variants can override components via `componentOverrides` in their `config.ts`, or provide a custom template in `template.ts` (e.g., `next-gen/template.ts` exports `rules_template`). If no override, the shared component from `components/` is used.
-
-**Example: Adding a rule to RULES section**
-1. Check if variant overrides rules: look for `rules_template` in `variants/*/template.ts` or `componentOverrides.RULES` in `config.ts`
-2. If shared: modify `components/rules.ts`
-3. If overridden: modify that variant's template
-4. XS variant is special—has heavily condensed inline content in `template.ts`
-
-**After any changes, regenerate snapshots:**
-```bash
-UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=true npm run test:unit
-```
-Snapshots live in `__tests__/__snapshots__/`. Tests validate across model families and context variations (browser, MCP, focus chain).
-
-## Modifying Default Slash Commands
-Three places need updates:
-- `src/core/slash-commands/index.ts` - Command definitions
-- `src/core/prompts/commands.ts` - System prompt integration
-- `webview-ui/src/utils/slash-commands.ts` - Webview autocomplete
-
-## Adding New Global State Keys
-Adding a new key to global state requires updates in multiple places. Missing any step causes silent failures.
-
-Required steps:
-1. Type definition in `src/shared/storage/state-keys.ts` - Add to `GlobalState` or `Settings` interface
-2. Read from globalState in `src/core/storage/utils/state-helpers.ts`:
-   - Add `const myKey = context.globalState.get<GlobalStateAndSettings["myKey"]>("myKey")` in `readGlobalStateFromDisk()`
-   - Add to the return object: `myKey: myKey ?? defaultValue,`
-3. StateManager handles read/write via `setGlobalState()`/`getGlobalStateKey()` after initialization
-
-Common mistake: Adding only the return value without the `context.globalState.get()` call. This compiles but the value is always `undefined` on load.
-
-## StateManager Cache vs Direct globalState Access
-StateManager uses an in-memory cache populated during `StateManager.initialize(context)` in `common.ts`. For most state, use `controller.stateManager.setGlobalState()`/`getGlobalStateKey()`.
-
-Exception: State needed immediately at extension startup (before cache is ready)
-
-When Window A sets state and immediately opens Window B, the new window's StateManager cache is populated from `context.globalState` during initialization. If you need to read state in Window B right at startup (e.g., in `common.ts` during `initialize()`), read directly from `context.globalState.get()` instead of StateManager's cache.
-
-Example pattern (see `lastShownAnnouncementId` and `worktreeAutoOpenPath`):
-```typescript
-// Writing (normal pattern)
-controller.stateManager.setGlobalState("myKey", value)
-
-// Reading at startup in common.ts (bypass cache)
-const value = context.globalState.get<string>("myKey")
-```
-
-This is only needed for cross-window state read during the brief startup window before StateManager cache is fully usable. Normal state access after initialization should use StateManager.
-
-## ChatRow Cancelled/Interrupted States
-When a ChatRow displays a loading/in-progress state (spinner), you must handle what happens when the task is cancelled. This is non-obvious because cancellation doesn't update the message content—you have to infer it from context.
-
-**The pattern:**
-1. A message has a `status` field (e.g., `"generating"`, `"complete"`, `"error"`) stored in `message.text` as JSON
-2. When cancelled mid-operation, the status stays `"generating"` forever—no one updates it
-3. To detect cancellation, check TWO conditions:
-   - `!isLast` — if this message is no longer the last message, something else happened after it (interrupted)
-   - `lastModifiedMessage?.ask === "resume_task" || "resume_completed_task"` — task was just cancelled and is waiting to resume
-
-**Example from `generate_explanation`:**
-```tsx
-const wasCancelled =
-    explanationInfo.status === "generating" &&
-    (!isLast ||
-        lastModifiedMessage?.ask === "resume_task" ||
-        lastModifiedMessage?.ask === "resume_completed_task")
-const isGenerating = explanationInfo.status === "generating" && !wasCancelled
-```
-
-**Why both checks?**
-- `!isLast` catches: cancelled → resumed → did other stuff → this old message is stale
-- `lastModifiedMessage?.ask === "resume_task"` catches: just cancelled, hasn't resumed yet, this message is still technically "last"
-
-**See also:** `BrowserSessionRow.tsx` uses similar pattern with `isLastApiReqInterrupted` and `isLastMessageResume`.
-
-**Backend side:** When streaming is cancelled, clean up properly (close tabs, clear comments, etc.) by checking `taskState.abort` after the streaming function returns.

-# Networking & Proxy Support
-
-To ensure Cline works correctly in all environments (VSCode, JetBrains, CLI) and with various network configurations (especially corporate proxies), strictly follow these guidelines for all network activity.
-
-In extension code, do NOT use the global `fetch` or a default `axios` instance. (Note, `shared/net.ts` is exempt from these rules because it sets up the fetch wrappers.) In Webview code, you SHOULD use global `fetch`.
-
-Global `fetch` and default `axios` do not automatically pick up proxy configurations in all environments (specifically JetBrains and CLI). You MUST use the provided utilities in `@/shared/net` which handle proxy agent configuration. In the webview, the browser/embedder handles proxies.
-
-## Guidelines
-
-### 1. Using `fetch`
-
-Instead of `fetch(...)`, import the proxy-aware wrapper:
-
-```typescript
-import { fetch } from '@/shared/net'
-
-// Usage is identical to global fetch
-const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
-```
-
-### 2. Using `axios`
-
-When using `axios`, you must apply the settings from `getAxiosSettings()`:
-
-```typescript
-import axios from 'axios'
-import { getAxiosSettings } from '@/shared/net'
-
-const response = await axios.get('https://api.example.com/data', {
-  headers: { 'Authorization': '...' },
-  ...getAxiosSettings() // <--- CRITICAL: Injects the proxy agent if needed
-})
-```
-
-### 3. Third-Party Clients (OpenAI, Ollama, etc.)
-
-Most API client libraries allow you to customize the `fetch` implementation. You **MUST** pass the proxy-aware `fetch` to these clients.
-
-**Example (OpenAI):**
-```typescript
-import OpenAI from "openai"
-import { fetch } from "@/shared/net"
-
-this.client = new OpenAI({
-  apiKey: '...',
-  fetch, // <--- CRITICAL: Pass our fetch wrapper
-})
-```
-
-### 4. Tests
-
-Use `mockFetchForTesting` to mock the underlying fetch implementation.
-
-**Example (callback):**
-
-```
-import { mockFetchForTesting } from "@/shared/net"
-
-...
-  let mockFetch = ...
-  mockFetchForTesting(mockFetch, () => {
-    // This calls mockFetch
-    fetch('https://foo.example').then(...)
-  })
-  // Original fetch is restored immediately when the call returns.
-```
-
-**Example (Promise):**
-
-```
-import { mockFetchForTesting } from "@/shared/net"
-
-...
-  let mockFetch = ...
-  await mockFetchForTesting(mockFetch, async () => {
-    await ...
-    // This calls mockFetch
-    await fetch('https://foo.example')
-    ...
-  })
-  // Original fetch is restored when the Promise from the callback settles
-```
-
-## Verification
-
-If you are adding a new network call or integration:
-1.  Check `@/shared/net.ts` is imported.
-2.  Ensure `fetch` or `getAxiosSettings` is being used.
-3.  Verify that third-party clients are configured to use the custom fetch.

-# Find Best Reviewers for Current Branch
-
-Analyze my current branch to find the best people to review my PR based on **domain expertise** and git history.
-
-## Steps
-
-1. Get the current branch name and verify it's not `main`
-2. Get the diff between the current branch and `origin/main`:
-   - Use `git diff origin/main...HEAD --name-only` to get changed files
-   - Use `git diff origin/main...HEAD` to understand the nature/spirit of the changes
-3. **Identify the domain/feature area** being changed:
-   - Read the diff carefully to understand WHAT is being changed conceptually (e.g., "slash commands", "authentication", "API client", "UI components")
-   - This semantic understanding is crucial for finding the right reviewers
-4. Find domain experts by searching for related files and their contributors:
-   - Identify all files related to the feature/domain (not just the ones changed)
-   - Example: if changing slash commands, find ALL slash-command related files across the codebase
-   - Use `git log --format="%an <%ae>" -- <related-files-pattern>` to find who has expertise in that domain
-5. For additional context, also gather:
-   - `git blame -L <start>,<end> origin/main -- <file-path>` for exact lines changed
-   - Recent commit activity on related files
-6. Score and rank contributors by:
-   - **Highest weight: Domain expertise** - who has the most commits to files in this feature area (even files not touched by this PR)
-   - **Medium weight: Direct file expertise** - commits to the specific files being changed
-   - **Lower weight: Line-level ownership** - authored the exact lines being modified
-7. Exclude myself (check against my git config user.email)
-8. Present the top 5 reviewers as an ordered list
-
-## Output Format
-
-Output an ordered list:
-
-1. **Name** - Domain expert: 15 commits to slash-command related files, authored core parsing logic
-2. **Name** - 8 commits to affected files, recently added the feature being modified
-3. ...
-
-## Commands Reference
-```bash
-git config user.email
-git diff origin/main...HEAD --name-only
-git diff origin/main...HEAD
-# Find related files for a domain (adjust pattern based on what you learn from the diff)
-find . -type f \( -name "*slash-command*" -o -name "*SlashCommand*" \) | head -20
-# Get contributors for related files
-find . -type f \( -name "*slash-command*" -o -name "*SlashCommand*" \) -print0 | xargs -0 git log --format="%an <%ae>" -- | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
-git log --format="%an <%ae>" -- <file> | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
-git blame -L 10,20 origin/main -- <file>
-```
-
-Do NOT ask questions - analyze the changes, identify the domain, and output the reviewer list.

-# Hotfix Release
-
-Create a hotfix release by cherry-picking specific commits from main onto the latest release tag.
-
-## Overview
-
-This workflow helps you:
-1. Select specific commits from main to include in a hotfix
-2. Create a release notes commit on main (changelog + version bump)
-3. Cherry-pick everything onto the latest release tag
-4. Tag and push the new release
-
-## Step 1: Setup and Gather Information
-
-First, ensure we're on main and up to date:
-
-```bash
-git checkout main && git pull origin main
-```
-
-Get the latest release tag:
-
-```bash
-git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1
-```
-
-## Step 2: Present Commits Since Last Release
-
-Show all commits on main since the last release tag:
-
-```bash
-LAST_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1)
-git log ${LAST_TAG}..HEAD --oneline --format="%h %s (%an)"
-```
-
-Also get the commit messages already on the tag (to identify previously cherry-picked commits). Note: Run these as separate commands to avoid shell parsing issues with parentheses in author names:
-
-```bash
-LAST_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1)
-PREV_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -2 | tail -1)
-```
-
-```bash
-git log $PREV_TAG..$LAST_TAG --oneline --format="%s"
-```
-
-**Present the list** to the user in a numbered format with commit hash, subject, and author. For any commits whose subject line already appears in the tag's history (previously cherry-picked in an earlier hotfix) or are "Release Notes" commits, add `(already in previous hotfix)` or `(release notes - skip)` after them so the user knows to skip those.
-
-Ask which commits to include in the hotfix.
-
-Use the ask_followup_question tool to let the user specify which commits they want (by number or hash).
-
-## Step 3: Analyze Selected Commits
-
-For each selected commit:
-1. Get the full commit message: `git show --no-patch --format="%B" <hash>`
-2. Get the diff to understand the change: `git show <hash> --stat`
-3. Find the associated PR if any: `gh pr list --search "<hash>" --state merged --json number,title --jq '.[0]'`
-
-Build a mental model of what these changes do for the changelog.
-
-## Step 4: Determine New Version Number
-
-Parse the current version from package.json and the last tag:
-
-```bash
-LAST_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1)
-echo "Last release: $LAST_TAG"
-cat package.json | grep '"version"'
-```
-
-Hotfixes always increment the patch version (e.g., 3.40.0 -> 3.40.1, or 3.40.1 -> 3.40.2).
-
-**Ask the user to confirm the new version number.**
-
-## Step 5: Create Release Notes Commit on Main
-
-On the main branch, create a commit that updates:
-
-1. **CHANGELOG.md** - Add a new section for the hotfix version at the top:
-   ```markdown
-   ## [3.40.1]
-
-   - Description of fix 1
-   - Description of fix 2
-   ```
-
-   Write clear, user-friendly descriptions based on your analysis of the commits.
-
-2. **package.json** - Update the version field to the new version
-
-3. **Delete changesets** for the commits being included in the hotfix. This prevents the changeset bot from including duplicate entries in the next regular release.
-
-   Find and delete the changeset files associated with the selected commits:
-   ```bash
-   ls .changeset/
-   ```
-
-   Each changeset file in `.changeset/` corresponds to a PR. Read them to identify which ones belong to the commits you're hotfixing, then delete those files.
-
-**Skip running `npm run install:all`** - the automation handles outdated lockfiles.
-
-Commit with message format: `v{VERSION} Release Notes (hotfix)`
-
-In the commit body, mention:
-- This is for a hotfix release
-- List the cherry-picked commits that will be included
-
-```bash
-git add CHANGELOG.md package.json .changeset/
-git commit -m "v3.40.1 Release Notes (hotfix)
-
-Hotfix release including:
-- <commit1-hash>: <description>
-- <commit2-hash>: <description>
-"
-```
-
-Push to main:
-
-```bash
-git push origin main
-```
-
-## Step 6: Build the Hotfix on the Tag
-
-Checkout the last release tag (detached HEAD):
-
-```bash
-LAST_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1)
-git checkout $LAST_TAG
-```
-
-Cherry-pick the selected commits in order:
-
-```bash
-git cherry-pick <commit1-hash>
-git cherry-pick <commit2-hash>
-# ... etc
-```
-
-Finally, cherry-pick the release notes commit you just pushed to main:
-
-```bash
-# Get the hash of the release notes commit (should be HEAD of main)
-RELEASE_NOTES_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse main)
-git cherry-pick $RELEASE_NOTES_COMMIT
-```
-
-## Step 7: Tag and Push
-
-After all cherry-picks are applied successfully:
-
-```bash
-# Tag the new release
-git tag v{VERSION}
-
-# Push the tag to remote
-git push origin v{VERSION}
-```
-
-## Step 8: Return to Main and Summary
-
-Return to main branch:
-
-```bash
-git checkout main
-```
-
-**Copy a Slack announcement message to clipboard** with the version and PR links for each included fix:
-
-```
-VS Code Hotfix v{VERSION} Published
-
-- Description of fix 1 https://github.com/cline/cline/pull/{PR_NUMBER}
-- Description of fix 2 https://github.com/cline/cline/pull/{PR_NUMBER}
-```
-
-Present a final summary:
-- New version: v{VERSION}
-- Tag pushed: yes
-- Commits included: (list them)
-- Slack message copied to clipboard: yes
-
-Remind the user to:
-1. Manually trigger the publish release GitHub Action at: https://github.com/cline/cline/actions/workflows/publish.yml (paste `v{VERSION}` as the tag)
-2. Post the Slack message to announce the hotfix
-
-## Important Notes
-
-- This workflow does NOT create a release branch - only tags
-- The release notes commit goes to main first, then gets cherry-picked to the tag
-- This keeps main's history accurate while allowing hotfix releases from tags
-- If cherry-pick conflicts occur, resolve them before continuing

-# Release
-
-Prepare and publish a release from the open changeset PR.
-
-## Overview
-
-This workflow helps you:
-1. Find and checkout the open changeset PR
-2. Clean up the changelog (fix version format, wordsmith entries)
-3. Push changes back to the PR branch
-4. Merge with proper commit message format
-5. Tag and push the release (after verifying the commit)
-6. Trigger the publish workflow
-7. Update GitHub release notes
-8. Provide final summary with Slack announcement
-
-## Step 1: Find the Changeset PR
-
-Look for the open changeset PR:
-
-```bash
-gh pr list --search "Changeset version bump" --state open --json number,title,headRefName,url
-```
-
-If no PR is found, inform the user there's no changeset PR ready. They may need to:
-- Merge PRs with changesets to main first
-- Manually trigger the Changeset Converter workflow at: https://github.com/cline/cline/actions/workflows/changeset-converter.yml
-
-## Step 2: Gather PR Information
-
-Get the PR details:
-
-```bash
-PR_NUMBER=<number from step 1>
-gh pr view $PR_NUMBER --json body,files,headRefName
-```
-
-Checkout the PR branch:
-
-```bash
-git fetch origin changeset-release/main
-git checkout changeset-release/main
-```
-
-If the branch has diverged from remote, reset to the remote version:
-
-```bash
-git reset --hard origin/changeset-release/main
-```
-
-## Step 3: Analyze the Changes
-
-Read the current CHANGELOG.md to see what the automation generated:
-
-```bash
-head -50 CHANGELOG.md
-```
-
-Get the version from package.json:
-
-```bash
-cat package.json | grep '"version"'
-```
-
-**Present to the user:**
-- The version number that will be released
-- The raw changelog entries from the changeset PR
-- Whether this is a patch, minor, or major release
-
-## Step 4: Clean Up the Changelog
-
-The changelog needs these fixes:
-
-1. **Add brackets to version number**: Change `## 3.44.1` to `## [3.44.1]`
-
-2. **No category headers**: Don't use `### Added`, `### Fixed`, etc. Just a flat list of bullet points.
-
-3. **Order entries from most important to least important**:
-   - Lead with major new features or significant fixes users care about
-   - End with minor fixes or internal changes
-
-4. **Write user-friendly descriptions**:
-   - This is for end users, not developers—explain what changed in plain language
-   - Remove commit hashes from the beginning of lines (the automation adds these)
-   - Look at the actual commit diffs (`git show <hash>`) and PRs to understand what changed
-   - Write colorful descriptions that explain the value and impact, not just technical details
-   - Consolidate related changes into single entries when appropriate
-
-**Ask the user** to review the proposed changelog changes before applying them. Show them:
-- Current (raw) changelog section
-- Proposed (cleaned) changelog section
-
-Once approved, apply the changes to CHANGELOG.md.
-
-## Step 5: Commit and Push Changes
-
-After making changelog edits:
-
-```bash
-git add CHANGELOG.md
-git commit -m "Clean up changelog formatting"
-git push origin changeset-release/main
-```
-
-## Step 6: Merge the PR
-
-**Ask the user to confirm** they're ready to merge.
-
-Merge the PR with the proper commit message format:
-
-```bash
-VERSION=<version from package.json>
-gh pr merge $PR_NUMBER --squash --subject "v${VERSION} Release Notes" --body ""
-```
-
-**If merge is blocked by branch protection:**
-- Users with admin privileges can add the `--admin` flag to bypass
-- Users without admin privileges need to get the PR approved through normal review first before merging
-
-## Step 7: Tag the Release
-
-After the merge completes, checkout main and pull:
-
-```bash
-git checkout main
-git pull origin main
-```
-
-**IMPORTANT: Verify the latest commit is the release commit before tagging:**
-
-```bash
-git log -1 --oneline
-```
-
-Confirm the commit message matches `v{VERSION} Release Notes` (e.g., `v3.44.1 Release Notes`). Do NOT blindly tag HEAD without verification.
-
-Once verified, tag and push:
-
-```bash
-VERSION=<version>
-git tag v${VERSION}
-git push origin v${VERSION}
-```
-
-## Step 8: Trigger Publish Workflow
-
-**Copy the tag to clipboard** so the user can easily paste it into the GitHub Actions workflow:
-
-```bash
-echo -n "v{VERSION}" | pbcopy
-```
-
-**Tell the user to trigger the publish workflow:**
-1. Go to: https://github.com/cline/cline/actions/workflows/publish.yml
-2. Select **"release"** for release-type
-3. Paste **`v{VERSION}`** as the tag (already in clipboard)
-
-**Wait for the user** to confirm the publish workflow has completed before proceeding.
-
-## Step 9: Update GitHub Release Notes
-
-Once the user confirms the publish workflow is done, fetch the auto-generated release content:
-
-```bash
-VERSION=<version>
-gh release view v${VERSION} --json body --jq '.body'
-```
-
-The auto-generated release has:
-- `## What's Changed` - PR list (we'll replace this with our changelog)
-- `## New Contributors` - First-time contributors (keep this if present)
-- `**Full Changelog**` - Comparison link (keep this)
-
-Build the new release body:
-1. Start with `## What's Changed` header
-2. Add our changelog content (from CHANGELOG.md for this version)
-3. Keep the `## New Contributors` section if it exists
-4. Keep the `**Full Changelog**` link
-
-Update the release:
-
-```bash
-gh release edit v${VERSION} --notes "<new body content>"
-```
-
-Verify the release was updated:
-
-```bash
-gh release view v${VERSION}
-```
-
-## Step 10: Final Summary
-
-**Copy a Slack announcement message to clipboard** (include the full changelog, not just highlights):
-
-```bash
-echo "VS Code v{VERSION} Released
-
-- Changelog entry 1
-- Changelog entry 2
-- Changelog entry 3" | pbcopy
-```
-
-**Present a final summary:**
-- Version released: v{VERSION}
-- PR merged: #{PR_NUMBER}
-- Tag pushed: v{VERSION}
-- Release: https://github.com/cline/cline/releases/tag/v{VERSION}
-- Slack message copied to clipboard
-
-**Final reminder:**
-Post the Slack message to announce the release
-
-## Handling Edge Cases
-
-### No changesets found
-If the changeset PR body shows no changes, inform the user they need to merge PRs with changesets first.
-
-### Merge conflicts
-If there are conflicts on the changeset branch, help the user resolve them:
-```bash
-git fetch origin main
-git rebase origin/main
-# resolve conflicts
-git push origin changeset-release/main --force-with-lease
-```
-
-### User wants to add more changes
-If the user wants to include additional PRs before releasing:
-1. Ask them to merge those PRs to main first
-2. The changeset automation will update the PR automatically
-3. Re-run this workflow after the PR is updated

-            You're a GitHub issue first responder for the open source Cline repository.
-
-            **Issue:** #${{ github.event.issue.number || inputs.issue_number }}
-            **Title:** ${{ github.event.issue.title || 'See issue details below' }}
-            **Author:** @${{ github.event.issue.user.login || 'See issue details below' }}
-
-            ## Your job
-
-            Investigate this issue thoroughly, then post a single helpful comment that helps the user and gives maintainers the context they need.
-
-            ## Investigation
-
-            Start by reading the full issue:
-            gh issue view ${{ github.event.issue.number || inputs.issue_number }}
-
-            ### Search for duplicates and related issues
-
-            Search thoroughly for existing issues that match this one:
-            gh issue list --search "<keywords from the issue>" --state all --limit 30
-            gh issue list --search "<error messages>" --state all --limit 20
-            gh issue list --search "<affected feature/component>" --state all --limit 20
-
-            For each relevant issue you find, read it including its comments:
-            gh issue view <number> --comments
-
-            You're looking for:
-            - **Duplicates**: Issues describing the same problem. Link to them and explain why you think they're duplicates. If closed, check how they were resolved - the solution might apply here.
-            - **Related issues**: Similar problems or context that could help. Pull useful information from their comments (workarounds others found, debugging steps that helped, maintainer explanations). Link to them and explain the connection.
-
-            If there are closed issues with solutions, surface those solutions prominently - this might immediately solve the user's problem.
-
-            ### Analyze recent changes (ALWAYS DO THIS)
-
-            Many issues are regressions from recent releases. **Always** check what changed recently:
-            gh release list --limit 10
-            gh pr list --state merged --limit 50 --json number,title,mergedAt,author,body
-
-            Look for PRs merged in the last few weeks that might correlate with the issue. If you find a likely connection:
-            gh pr view <number>
-            gh pr diff <number>
-            git log --since="1 month ago" --oneline -- <relevant paths>
-            git show <commit>
-
-            **Always include your findings in your comment:**
-            - If you find a regression, call it out explicitly: which PR/commit likely caused it, who authored it, what changed, and suggest a fix direction if you can see one.
-            - If you don't find anything related, still mention it: "I analyzed recent PRs and releases but didn't find any changes that seem related to this issue."
-
-            ### Search the codebase
-
-            Find the relevant code:
-            - Use grep/find to locate code related to the issue
-            - Key areas: `src/api/` (providers/models), `src/core/prompts/` (tools/prompts), platform-specific code for VS Code vs JetBrains
-
-            ### Find documentation
-
-            Cline docs are at **https://docs.cline.bot/** and built with Mintlify from the `docs/` directory.
-
-            The URL structure maps directly to the file structure:
-            - `docs/getting-started/selecting-your-model.mdx` → https://docs.cline.bot/getting-started/selecting-your-model
-            - `docs/troubleshooting.mdx` → https://docs.cline.bot/troubleshooting
-            - Headings become anchors: `## Which Model` → `#which-model`
-
-            Search the `docs/` directory to find relevant documentation, then construct URLs to link users to:
-            ```bash
-            ls docs/
-            grep -r "keyword" docs/ --include="*.mdx" -l
-            ```
-
-            ### Identify subject matter experts
-
-            For issues that clearly need engineering attention:
-            git log --since="6 months ago" --format="%an" -- <relevant paths> | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -5
-
-            Cross-reference with GitHub usernames. Include in your response (@mention, do NOT assign):
-
-            | SME | Reason |
-            |-----|--------|
-            | @username1 | Authored PR #X which modified this area |
-            | @username2 | Primary contributor to affected file |
-
-            ## Weak model detection
-
-            Many issues are caused by users running small or non-frontier models that don't tool-call reliably. Signs include:
-            - Model failing to use tools correctly
-            - Nonsensical or malformed responses
-            - User is running a small/local model or older model version
-
-            If this looks like a weak model issue, kindly suggest they try reproducing with Claude Sonnet and report back if it persists. Link to https://docs.cline.bot/getting-started/selecting-your-model if helpful. Still label and triage normally.
-
-            ## Your comment
-
-            Write a single comment as a helpful community member. Be conversational, not robotic. Include what's relevant:
-
-            - **Helpful response** - Answer their question, suggest a fix, provide a workaround. If you found solutions in related closed issues, surface those prominently.
-            - **Duplicates and related issues** - Link to any you found and explain why they're duplicates/related. Summarize useful context from their comments.
-            - **Regression analysis** - If this looks like a regression, explain what change likely caused it, link to the PR/commit, and tag the author.
-            - **Clarifying questions** - If you need more info, ask specific questions. Don't ask for things already provided.
-            - **SME table** - Include the table above if this needs engineering attention. Don't tag people for questions with obvious answers or weak-model issues.
-            - **Context for maintainers** - Relevant code paths, what you found. Keep it concise.
-            - **Docs links** - If there's relevant documentation, link to it naturally in your response as a recommendation (e.g., "For more details, check out [the Ollama setup guide](url)"). Do NOT add a "Sources" section at the end - integrate doc links into your response where they're helpful.
-            - **Possible Duplicates section** - ALWAYS include a "Possible Duplicates" section at the end of your comment listing issues that might be duplicates so maintainers can quickly close if appropriate. If none found, say "No obvious duplicates found."
-
-            ## Labels
-            First, retrieve all available labels and read their descriptions to understand what each is for:
-            gh label list --json name,description --limit 100
-
-            Then apply the appropriate labels based on your analysis. Only use labels from the list above—do not create new labels.
-            gh issue edit ${{ github.event.issue.number || inputs.issue_number }} --add-label "label1,label2"
-
-            If your regression analysis found a likely culprit (a recent PR/commit that probably caused this issue), add the "Regression" label:
-            gh issue edit ${{ github.event.issue.number || inputs.issue_number }} --add-label "Regression"
-
-            IMPORTANT: After posting your comment, add the "Bot Responded" label to indicate this issue has received an automated response:
-            gh issue edit ${{ github.event.issue.number || inputs.issue_number }} --add-label "Bot Responded"
-
-            ## Remember
-
-            - **This is a one-time automated response** - you will NOT see their reply or respond again. Never say things like "I can help you", "let me know", "once I have that info", or "I can give you more targeted help" - you won't be there to follow up. If you ask clarifying questions, frame them for the maintainers who will follow up, e.g., "If you can share X, that would help the maintainers diagnose this."
-            - Don't be formulaic. Respond to what the issue actually needs.
-            - Surface solutions from past issues - often the fastest path to helping.
-            - Connecting regressions to specific changes is extremely valuable.
-            - Link issues with #number so they're clickable.

-            You're a GitHub PR reviewer for the open source Cline repository. Your goal is to give the PR author helpful feedback and give maintainers the context they need to review efficiently.
-
-            PR: #${{ steps.pr.outputs.number }}
-
-            ## Gather context
-
-            ```bash
-            # Get full PR details
-            gh pr view ${{ steps.pr.outputs.number }} --json number,title,body,author,createdAt,updatedAt,isDraft,labels,commits,files,additions,deletions,changedFiles,baseRefName,headRefName,mergeable,reviewDecision
-
-            # Get the diff
-            gh pr diff ${{ steps.pr.outputs.number }}
-
-            # Check CI status
-            gh pr checks ${{ steps.pr.outputs.number }}
-
-            # Get existing review comments (to understand context and your previous feedback)
-            gh api repos/${{ github.repository }}/pulls/${{ steps.pr.outputs.number }}/comments --jq '.[] | {user: .user.login, body: .body, path: .path, created_at: .created_at}'
-
-            # Get conversation comments
-            gh pr view ${{ steps.pr.outputs.number }} --comments
-            ```
-
-            If this is a re-review (workflow_dispatch event):
-            Read your previous comments carefully. Understand what you asked for before.
-            Check if new commits or comments address your previous feedback.
-
-            ## Check contributing guidelines
-
-            Flag (but don't block) if:
-            - Missing changeset - For user-facing changes, check if there's a `.changeset/` file:
-              ```bash
-              gh pr diff ${{ steps.pr.outputs.number }} --name-only | grep '.changeset/' || echo "No changeset found"
-              ```
-              If missing, ask them to run `npm run changeset`
-            - Missing tests - New features should have tests
-
-            ## Find related issues and PRs
-
-            Search thoroughly for context that might help with the review:
-
-            ```bash
-            # Find related issues for context
-            gh issue list --search "<keywords from the PR>" --state all --limit 30
-            gh issue list --search "<error messages or feature names>" --state all --limit 20
-
-            # Find similar PRs for reference
-            gh pr list --search "<keywords>" --state all --limit 30
-            ```
-
-            For each relevant issue or PR you find, read it including comments:
-            ```bash
-            gh issue view <number> --comments
-            gh pr view <number> --comments
-            ```
-
-            Look for:
-            - Open issues this PR might fix that weren't linked in the description
-            - Similar PRs that went through review - what feedback did they get? What patterns did they follow?
-            - Context from maintainer discussions that could inform your review
-
-            ## Find subject matter experts
-
-            For files changed in this PR, find who knows the code best:
-            ```bash
-            # Get files changed
-            gh pr diff ${{ steps.pr.outputs.number }} --name-only
-
-            # For each relevant path, find contributors
-            git log --since="6 months ago" --format="%an" -- <path> | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -5
-            ```
-
-            Cross-reference git authors with GitHub usernames. Include an SME table in your response:
-
-            | SME | Reason |
-            |-----|--------|
-            | @username1 | Authored PR #X which modified this area |
-            | @username2 | Primary contributor to affected file (15 commits in 6 months) |
-            | @username3 | Reviewed similar PR #Y with extensive feedback |
-
-            ## Deep code review
-
-            This is the most important part. Don't just look for syntax issues - understand what the PR is trying to achieve and whether the implementation is the right approach.
-
-            Step 1: Understand the intent
-            Read the PR description and understand what the author is trying to accomplish. What problem are they solving? What feature are they adding?
-
-            Step 2: Form your own opinion first
-            Before analyzing their code, think about how YOU would implement this feature or fix. What files would you touch? What patterns would you follow? What edge cases would you handle?
-
-            Step 3: Compare approaches
-            Now look at their implementation. How does it compare to what you would have done?
-            - Is their approach better in some ways? Note what they did well.
-            - Is their approach missing something? Be specific about what and why.
-            - Are there edge cases they haven't considered?
-            - Does it follow the patterns established in similar parts of the codebase?
-
-            Step 4: Look at the bigger picture
-            - What other files or systems does this change interact with?
-            - Could this break anything else?
-            - Is there additional work needed beyond this PR to complete the feature?
-            - Does this fit well with the overall architecture?
-
-            Step 5: Find reference implementations
-            Look for similar changes in the codebase:
-            ```bash
-            git log --oneline --all --grep="<relevant keywords>" | head -20
-            git log --oneline -- <similar files> | head -20
-            ```
-
-            If this is adding a new API provider, look at how other providers are implemented.
-            If this is adding a new feature, look at how similar features were added.
-            Note where their implementation aligns with or diverges from established patterns.
-
-            Step 6: Standard code review checks
-            - DRY: Is there duplicated code that could be extracted?
-            - Error handling: Are errors handled appropriately?
-            - Security: Any injection risks, credential exposure, unsafe dependencies?
-            - Performance: Any obvious inefficiencies, memory leaks, N+1 patterns?
-            - Types: Is TypeScript used correctly? Any unsafe type assertions?
-            - Naming: Are variables and functions named clearly?
-            - Comments: Is complex logic explained? Are there outdated comments?
-
-            ## Inline code suggestions
-
-            For specific code improvements, use GitHub's suggestion syntax via `gh api`.
-            This creates suggestions the author can commit with one click.
-
-            Single-line suggestion:
-            ```bash
-            gh api repos/${{ github.repository }}/pulls/${{ steps.pr.outputs.number }}/reviews \
-              -X POST \
-              -f commit_id="$(gh pr view ${{ steps.pr.outputs.number }} --json headRefOid -q .headRefOid)" \
-              -f event="COMMENT" \
-              -f body="" \
-              -F comments='[
-                {
-                  "path": "src/example.ts",
-                  "line": 42,
-                  "body": "Consider simplifying:\n\n```suggestion\nconst result = items.filter(Boolean);\n```"
-                }
-              ]'
-            ```
-
-            Multi-line suggestion (replacing lines 40-45):
-            ```bash
-            gh api repos/${{ github.repository }}/pulls/${{ steps.pr.outputs.number }}/reviews \
-              -X POST \
-              -f commit_id="$(gh pr view ${{ steps.pr.outputs.number }} --json headRefOid -q .headRefOid)" \
-              -f event="COMMENT" \
-              -f body="" \
-              -F comments='[
-                {
-                  "path": "src/example.ts",
-                  "start_line": 40,
-                  "line": 45,
-                  "body": "This can be simplified:\n\n```suggestion\nconst simplified = doThing();\n```"
-                }
-              ]'
-            ```
-
-            Use inline suggestions for concrete improvements. Use regular comments for questions or broader feedback.
-
-            ## Post your review
-
-            After your investigation, post a single helpful comment that helps the author and gives maintainers context.
-
-            Start with a warm thank you for their contribution. Be conversational, not robotic.
-
-            Include what's relevant:
-            - In-depth explanation of what the PR does - Be comprehensive. A maintainer should be able to read this section and fully understand the author's intent, why they made the changes, how they implemented it, and what files/systems are affected. Don't just summarize - explain.

-
-          PR: #'"${PR_NUMBER}"'
-
-          ## Gather context
-
-          ```bash
-          # Get full PR details
-          gh pr view '"${PR_NUMBER}"' --json number,title,body,author,createdAt,updatedAt,isDraft,labels,commits,files,additions,deletions,changedFiles,baseRefName,headRefName,mergeable,reviewDecision
-
-          # Get the diff
-          gh pr diff '"${PR_NUMBER}"'
-
-          # Check CI status
-          gh pr checks '"${PR_NUMBER}"'
-
-          # Get existing review comments (to understand context and your previous feedback)
-          gh api repos/'"${GITHUB_REPO}"'/pulls/'"${PR_NUMBER}"'/comments --jq '\''.[] | {user: .user.login, body: .body, path: .path, created_at: .created_at}'\''
-
-          # Get conversation comments
-          gh pr view '"${PR_NUMBER}"' --comments
-          ```
-
-          If this is a re-review (workflow_dispatch event):
-          Read your previous comments carefully. Understand what you asked for before.
-          Check if new commits or comments address your previous feedback.
-
-          ## Check contributing guidelines
-
-          Flag (but don'\''t block) if:
-          - Missing changeset - For user-facing changes, check if there'\''s a `.changeset/` file:
-            ```bash
-            gh pr diff '"${PR_NUMBER}"' --name-only | grep '\''.changeset/'\'' || echo '\''No changeset found'\''
-            ```
-            If missing, ask them to run `npm run changeset`
-          - Missing tests - New features should have tests
-
-          ## Find related issues and PRs
-
-          Search thoroughly for context that might help with the review:
-
-          ```bash
-          # Find related issues for context
-          gh issue list --search '\''<keywords from the PR>'\'' --state all --limit 30
-          gh issue list --search '\''<error messages or feature names>'\'' --state all --limit 20
-
-          # Find similar PRs for reference
-          gh pr list --search '\''<keywords>'\'' --state all --limit 30
-          ```
-
-          For each relevant issue or PR you find, read it including comments:
-          ```bash
-          gh issue view <number> --comments
-          gh pr view <number> --comments
-          ```
-
-          Look for:
-          - Open issues this PR might fix that weren'\''t linked in the description
-          - Similar PRs that went through review - what feedback did they get? What patterns did they follow?
-          - Context from maintainer discussions that could inform your review
-
-          ## Find subject matter experts
-
-          For files changed in this PR, find who knows the code best:
-          ```bash
-          # Get files changed
-          gh pr diff '"${PR_NUMBER}"' --name-only
-
-          # For each relevant path, find contributors
-          git log --since='\''6 months ago'\'' --format='\''%an'\'' -- <path> | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -5
-          ```
-
-          Cross-reference git authors with GitHub usernames. Include an SME table in your response:
-
-          | SME | Reason |
-          |-----|--------|
-          | @username1 | Authored PR #X which modified this area |
-          | @username2 | Primary contributor to affected file (15 commits in 6 months) |
-          | @username3 | Reviewed similar PR #Y with extensive feedback |
-
-          ## Bash command usage
-
-          Don'\''t use operators like `|`, `&&`, or `;` - run each command separately and analyze the output.
-
-          When referencing command outputs, quote them properly to avoid formatting issues.
-
-          ## Deep code review
-
-          This is the most important part. Don'\''t just look for syntax issues - understand what the PR is trying to achieve and whether the implementation is the right approach.
-
-          Step 1: Understand the intent
-          Read the PR description and understand what the author is trying to accomplish. What problem are they solving? What feature are they adding?
-
-          Step 2: Form your own opinion first
-          Before analyzing their code, think about how YOU would implement this feature or fix. What files would you touch? What patterns would you follow? What edge cases would you handle?
-
-          Step 3: Compare approaches
-          Now look at their implementation. How does it compare to what you would have done?
-          - Is their approach better in some ways? Note what they did well.
-          - Is their approach missing something? Be specific about what and why.
-          - Are there edge cases they haven'\''t considered?
-          - Does it follow the patterns established in similar parts of the codebase?
-
-          Step 4: Look at the bigger picture
-          - What other files or systems does this change interact with?
-          - Could this break anything else?
-          - Is there additional work needed beyond this PR to complete the feature?
-          - Does this fit well with the overall architecture?
-
-          Step 5: Find reference implementations
-          Look for similar changes in the codebase:
-          ```bash
-          git log --oneline --all --grep='\''<relevant keywords>'\'' | head -20
-          git log --oneline -- <similar files> | head -20
-          ```
-
-          If this is adding a new API provider, look at how other providers are implemented.
-          If this is adding a new feature, look at how similar features were added.
-          Note where their implementation aligns with or diverges from established patterns.
-
-          Step 6: Standard code review checks
-          - DRY: Is there duplicated code that could be extracted?
-          - Error handling: Are errors handled appropriately?
-          - Security: Any injection risks, credential exposure, unsafe dependencies?
-          - Performance: Any obvious inefficiencies, memory leaks, N+1 patterns?
-          - Types: Is TypeScript used correctly? Any unsafe type assertions?
-          - Naming: Are variables and functions named clearly?
-          - Comments: Is complex logic explained? Are there outdated comments?
-
-          ## Inline code suggestions
-
-          For specific code improvements, use GitHub'\''s suggestion syntax via `gh api`.
-          This creates suggestions the author can commit with one click.
-
-          Single-line suggestion:
-          ```bash
-          gh api repos/'"${GITHUB_REPO}"'/pulls/'"${PR_NUMBER}"'/reviews \
-            -X POST \
-            -f commit_id="$(gh pr view '"${PR_NUMBER}"' --json headRefOid -q .headRefOid)" \
-            -f event='\''COMMENT'\'' \
-            -f body='\'''\'' \
-            -F comments='\''[
-              {
-                "path": "src/example.ts",
-                "line": 42,
-                "body": "Consider simplifying:\n\n```suggestion\nconst result = items.filter(Boolean);\n```"
-              }
-            ]'\''
-          ```
-
-          Multi-line suggestion (replacing lines 40-45):
-          ```bash
-          gh api repos/'"${GITHUB_REPO}"'/pulls/'"${PR_NUMBER}"'/reviews \
-            -X POST \
-            -f commit_id="$(gh pr view '"${PR_NUMBER}"' --json headRefOid -q .headRefOid)" \
-            -f event='\''COMMENT'\'' \
-            -f body='\'''\'' \
-            -F comments='\''[
-              {
-                "path": "src/example.ts",
-                "start_line": 40,
-                "line": 45,
-                "body": "This can be simplified:\n\n```suggestion\nconst simplified = doThing();\n```"
-              }
-            ]'\''
-          ```
-
-          Use inline suggestions for concrete improvements. Use regular comments for questions or broader feedback.
-
-          ## Post your review
-
-          After your investigation, post a single helpful comment that helps the author and gives maintainers context.
-
-          Start with a warm thank you for their contribution. Be conversational, not robotic.
-
-          Include what'\''s relevant:
-          - In-depth explanation of what the PR does - Be comprehensive. A maintainer should be able to read this section and fully understand the author'\''s intent, why they made the changes, how they implemented it, and what files/systems are affected. Don'\''t just summarize - explain.
-          - Related issues/PRs you found that provide useful context (link to them)
-          - Your review findings (issues to address, suggestions, etc.)
-          - Clear next steps for the author
-
-          Include a '\''For Maintainers'\'' section with:
-          - Anything else useful to help the maintainer resolve this PR
-          - Related issues/PRs with context on why they'\''re relevant
-          - Open issues this PR might fix that weren'\''t linked in the description
-          - Your recommendation: merge as-is, needs changes, needs discussion, close, etc.
-          - SME table - who should review this and why
-
-          For the SME table:
-          | SME | Reason |
-          |-----|--------|
-          | @username | Primary contributor to affected files |
-
-          ## Update labels
-
-          Add appropriate labels based on your analysis:
-          ```bash
-          gh label list --json name,description --limit 100
-          gh pr edit '"${PR_NUMBER}"' --add-label '\''label1,label2'\''
-          ```
-
-          When done, add the reviewed label:
-          ```bash
-          gh pr edit '"${PR_NUMBER}"' --add-label '\''Bot Reviewed'\''
-          ```
-
-          ## Remember

-# Ensure protos are generated
-npm run protos
-
-# Build and link the CLI globally
-npm run cli:link
+npm install -g cline
 ```
 
 ## Usage
 
-### Interactive Mode (Default)
-
-When you run `cline` without any command, it launches an interactive welcome prompt:
-
 ```bash
-# Launch interactive mode
 cline
-
-# Or run a task directly
-cline "Create a hello world function in Python"
-
-# With options
-cline -v --thinking "Analyze this codebase"
 ```
 
-### Commands
+This will start the Cline CLI interface where you can interact with the autonomous coding agent.
 
-#### `task` (alias: `t`)
+## Features
 
-Run a new task with a prompt.
+-   **Autonomous Coding**: AI-powered code generation, editing, and refactoring

-## Development
-
-### Quick Start
-
-```bash
-# 1. Install all dependencies (root, webview-ui, cli)
-npm run install:all
-
-# 2. Build and link globally so you can run `cline` from anywhere
-npm run cli:link
-
-# 3. Test it
-cline --help
-```
-
-### Scripts
-
-Run these from the repository root:
-
-| Script | Description |
-|--------|-------------|
-| `npm run install:all` | Install deps for root, webview-ui, and cli |
-| `npm run cli:build` | Generate protos and build CLI |
-| `npm run cli:build:production` | Production build (minified) |
-| `npm run cli:link` | Build and `npm link` so you can run `cline` from anywhere |
-| `npm run cli:unlink` | Remove the global `cline` symlink |
-| `npm run cli:dev` | Link + watch mode for development |
-| `npm run cli:watch` | Watch mode only (no initial build) |
-| `npm run cli:test` | Run CLI tests |
-
-### Development Workflow
-
-1. Run `npm run cli:dev` - this links the CLI globally and starts watch mode
-2. Make changes to files in `cli/src/`
-3. The build automatically rebuilds on save
-4. Test your changes by running `cline` in another terminal
-5. When done, run `npm run cli:unlink` to clean up
-
-### Proto Generation
-
-The CLI uses proto-generated types for message passing (same as the VS Code extension). If you modify any `.proto` files, run:
-
-```bash
-npm run protos
-```
-
-This generates TypeScript types in `src/generated/` that both the CLI and extension use.
-
-## Publish
-
-#### 1. Publish to npm
-```bash
-npm publish
-```
-
-#### 2. Update the Homebrew formula
-```bash
-npm run update-brew-formula
-```
-
-#### 3. Test the formula locally
-```bash
-# Create a local tap
-brew tap-new cline/local
-cp ./cli/cline.rb "$(brew --repository)/Library/Taps/cline/homebrew-local/Formula/cline.rb"
-
-# Build from Source
-brew install --build-from-source cline/local/cline
-
-# Install from your local tap
-brew install cline/local/cline
-
-# Clean up when done
-brew untap cline/local
-```
-
-#### 4. If using a tap, commit and push
-```bash
-git add cline.rb
-git commit -m "Update cline to v2.0.0"
-git push
-```
-
-## Architecture
-
-### How It Works
-
-The CLI directly imports and reuses the core Cline TypeScript codebase (the same code that powers the VS Code extension). This means feature parity is easy to maintain - when core gets updated, the CLI automatically benefits.
-
-```
-┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

-└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-```
-
-Unlike a client-server architecture, the CLI runs everything in a single Node.js process. The "host bridge" pattern provides terminal-appropriate implementations for things the VS Code extension would handle differently (clipboard, file dialogs, etc.).
-
-### Key Files
-
-| File | Purpose |
-|------|---------|
-| `src/index.ts` | Entry point, command definitions |
-| `src/components/App.tsx` | Main React Ink app |
-| `src/components/ChatView.tsx` | Task conversation UI |
-| `src/controllers/CliWebviewProvider.ts` | Bridges core messages to terminal output |
-| `src/vscode-context.ts` | Mock VS Code extension context for core compatibility |
-| `src/vscode-shim.ts` | Shims for VS Code APIs that core depends on |
-| `src/constants/colors.ts` | Terminal color definitions |
-
-### React Ink
-
-The CLI uses [React Ink](https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink) for its terminal UI. This lets us build the interface with React components that render to the terminal. Key patterns:
-
-- Components in `src/components/` render terminal UI
-- Hooks in `src/hooks/` manage terminal-specific state (size, scrolling)
-- The `useStateSubscriber` hook subscribes to core state changes
+-   Node.js 18.0.0 or higher
+-   Supported platforms: macOS, Linux. Windows soon
+-   Supported architectures: x64, arm64
 
 ## Configuration
 
-The CLI stores its data in `~/.cline/data/` by default:
+Cline can be configured through:
 
-- `globalState.json`: Global settings and state
-- `secrets.json`: API keys and secrets
-- `workspace/`: Workspace-specific state
-- `tasks/`: Task history and conversation data
+-   Environment variables
+-   Configuration files
+-   Command-line arguments
 
-Override with the `--config` option or `CLINE_DIR` environment variable.
+See the [main documentation](https://cline.bot) for detailed configuration options.

-If you encounter build errors:
+## License
 
-```bash
-# Make sure all deps are installed
-npm run install:all
+Apache-2.0 - see [LICENSE](https://github.com/cline/cline/blob/main/LICENSE) for details.
 
-# Regenerate proto types
-npm run protos
+## Support
 
-# Then rebuild
-npm run cli:build
-```
-
-### "command not found: cline"
-
-The CLI isn't linked globally. Run:
-
-```bash
-npm run cli:link
-```
-
-### Changes Not Reflected
-
-If your code changes aren't showing up:
-
-1. Make sure watch mode is running (`npm run cli:dev`)
-2. Check for TypeScript errors in the watch output
-3. Try unlinking and relinking: `npm run cli:unlink && npm run cli:link`
-
-### Import Errors from Core
-
-The CLI imports from `@core/`, `@shared/`, etc. These paths are defined in the root `tsconfig.json`. If you see import errors, make sure you're building from the repo root, not from inside `cli/`.

+cline \- orchestrate and interact with Cline AI coding agents
 .SH SYNOPSIS
 \f[B]cline\f[R] [\f[I]prompt\f[R]] [\f[I]options\f[R]]
 .PP
-\f[B]cline\f[R] \f[I]command\f[R] [\f[I]options\f[R]]

+[\f[I]options\f[R]] [\f[I]arguments\f[R]]
 .SH DESCRIPTION
-\f[B]cline\f[R] is a command\-line interface for the Cline AI coding
-assistant.
-It provides the same powerful AI capabilities as the VS Code extension,
-directly in your terminal.
+Try: cat README.md | cline \(lqSummarize this for me:\(rq
 .PP
-Cline is an autonomous AI agent that can read, write, and execute code
+\f[B]cline\f[R] is a command\-line interface for orchestrating multiple
+Cline AI coding agents.
+Cline is an autonomous AI agent who can read, write, and execute code
 across your projects.
-He can create and edit files, run terminal commands, use a headless
-browser, and more\(emall while asking for your approval before taking
-actions.
+He operates through a client\-server architecture where \f[B]Cline
+Core\f[R] runs as a standalone service, and the CLI acts as a scriptable
+interface for managing tasks, instances, and agent interactions.
 .PP
-The CLI supports both interactive mode (with a rich terminal UI) and
-plain text mode (for piped input and scripted workflows).
+The CLI is designed for both interactive use and automation, making it
+ideal for CI/CD pipelines, parallel task execution, and terminal\-based
+workflows.
+Multiple frontends (CLI, VSCode, JetBrains) can attach to the same Cline
+Core instance, enabling seamless task handoff between environments.
 .SH MODES OF OPERATION
-\f[B]Interactive Mode\f[R] : When you run \f[B]cline\f[R] without
-arguments, it launches an interactive welcome prompt with a rich
-terminal UI.
-You can type your task, view conversation history, and interact with
-Cline in real\-time.
-.PP
-\f[B]Task Mode\f[R] : Run \f[B]cline \(lqprompt\(rq\f[R] or \f[B]cline
-task \(lqprompt\(rq\f[R] to immediately start a task.
-If stdin is a TTY, you\(cqll see the interactive UI.
-If stdin is piped or output is redirected, the CLI automatically
-switches to plain text mode.
-.PP
-\f[B]Plain Text Mode\f[R] : Activated automatically when stdin is piped,
-output is redirected, or \f[B]\-\-json\f[R]/\f[B]\-\-yolo\f[R] flags are
-used.
-Outputs clean text without the Ink UI, suitable for scripting and CI/CD
-pipelines.
+.TP
+\f[B]Instant Task Mode\f[R]
+The simplest invocation: \f[B]cline \(lqprompt here\(rq\f[R] immediately
+spawns an instance, creates a task, and enters chat mode.
+This is equivalent to running \f[B]cline instance new && cline task new
+&& cline task chat\f[R] in sequence.
+.TP
+\f[B]Subcommand Mode\f[R]
+Advanced usage with explicit control: \f[B]cline <command> [subcommand]
+[options]\f[R] provides fine\-grained control over instances, tasks,
+authentication, and configuration.
 .SH AGENT BEHAVIOR
 Cline operates in two primary modes:
-.PP
-\f[B]ACT MODE\f[R] : Cline actively uses tools to accomplish tasks.
+.TP
+\f[B]ACT MODE\f[R]
+Cline actively uses tools to accomplish tasks.
 He can read files, write code, execute commands, use a headless browser,
 and more.
 This is the default mode for task execution.
-.PP
-\f[B]PLAN MODE\f[R] : Cline gathers information and creates a detailed
-plan before implementation.
+.TP
+\f[B]PLAN MODE\f[R]
+Cline gathers information and creates a detailed plan before
+implementation.
 He explores the codebase, asks clarifying questions, and presents a
 strategy for user approval before switching to ACT MODE.
+.SH INSTANT TASK OPTIONS
+When using the instant task syntax \f[B]cline \(lqprompt\(rq\f[R] the
+following options are available:
+.TP
+\f[B]\-o\f[R], \f[B]\-\-oneshot\f[R]
+Full autonomous mode.
+Cline completes the task and stops following after completion.
+Example: cline \-o \(lqwhat\(cqs 6 + 8?\(rq

 # NAME
 
-cline - AI coding assistant in your terminal
+cline - orchestrate and interact with Cline AI coding agents
 
 # SYNOPSIS
 
 **cline** [*prompt*] [*options*]
 
-**cline** *command* [*options*] [*arguments*]
+**cline** *command* [*subcommand*] [*options*] [*arguments*]
 
 # DESCRIPTION
 
-**cline** is a command-line interface for the Cline AI coding assistant. It provides the same powerful AI capabilities as the VS Code extension, directly in your terminal.
+Try: cat README.md | cline "Summarize this for me:"
 
-Cline is an autonomous AI agent that can read, write, and execute code across your projects. He can create and edit files, run terminal commands, use a headless browser, and more—all while asking for your approval before taking actions.
+**cline** is a command-line interface for orchestrating multiple Cline AI coding agents. Cline is an autonomous AI agent who can read, write, and execute code across your projects. He operates through a client-server architecture where **Cline Core** runs as a standalone service, and the CLI acts as a scriptable interface for managing tasks, instances, and agent interactions.
 
-The CLI supports both interactive mode (with a rich terminal UI) and plain text mode (for piped input and scripted workflows).
+The CLI is designed for both interactive use and automation, making it ideal for CI/CD pipelines, parallel task execution, and terminal-based workflows. Multiple frontends (CLI, VSCode, JetBrains) can attach to the same Cline Core instance, enabling seamless task handoff between environments.
 
 # MODES OF OPERATION
 
-**Interactive Mode** :   When you run **cline** without arguments, it launches an interactive welcome prompt with a rich terminal UI. You can type your task, view conversation history, and interact with Cline in real-time.
+**Instant Task Mode**
 
-**Task Mode** :   Run **cline "prompt"** or **cline task "prompt"** to immediately start a task. If stdin is a TTY, you'll see the interactive UI. If stdin is piped or output is redirected, the CLI automatically switches to plain text mode.
+:   The simplest invocation: **cline "prompt here"** immediately spawns an instance, creates a task, and enters chat mode. This is equivalent to running **cline instance new && cline task new && cline task chat** in sequence.
 
-**Plain Text Mode** :   Activated automatically when stdin is piped, output is redirected, or **\--json**/**\--yolo** flags are used. Outputs clean text without the Ink UI, suitable for scripting and CI/CD pipelines.
+**Subcommand Mode**
+
+:   Advanced usage with explicit control: **cline \<command\> [subcommand] [options]** provides fine-grained control over instances, tasks, authentication, and configuration.
 
 # AGENT BEHAVIOR
 
 Cline operates in two primary modes:
 
-**ACT MODE** :   Cline actively uses tools to accomplish tasks. He can read files, write code, execute commands, use a headless browser, and more. This is the default mode for task execution.
+**ACT MODE**
 
-**PLAN MODE** :   Cline gathers information and creates a detailed plan before implementation. He explores the codebase, asks clarifying questions, and presents a strategy for user approval before switching to ACT MODE.

-
-## Including Images
-
-```bash
-# Include images with explicit flag
-cline task -i screenshot.png diagram.jpg "Fix the UI based on these images"
-
-# Or use inline image references in the prompt
-cline "Fix the layout shown in @./screenshot.png"
-```
-
-## Piped Input
-
-```bash
-# Pipe file contents to Cline
-cat README.md | cline "Summarize this document"
-
-# Pipe with additional prompt
-echo "function add(a, b) { return a + b }" | cline "Add TypeScript types to this"
-
-# Combine piped input with a prompt
-git diff | cline "Review these changes and suggest improvements"
-```
-
-## Scripting and Automation
-
-```bash
-# JSON output for parsing
-cline --json "What files are in this directory?" | jq '.text'
-
-# Yolo mode for automated workflows (auto-approves all actions), forces plain text output
-cline -y "Run the test suite and fix any failures"
+# Kill all CLI instances
+cline instance kill --all-cli
 ```
 
 ## Task History
 
-```bash
-# List recent tasks
-cline history
-
-# Show more tasks with pagination
-cline history -n 20 -p 2
-```
-
-## Authentication
+Work with task history:
 
 ```bash
-# Interactive authentication wizard
-cline auth
+# List previous tasks
+cline task list
 
-# Quick setup for Anthropic
-cline auth -p anthropic -k sk-ant-api-xxxxx
+# Resume a previous task
+cline task open 1760501486669
 
-# Quick setup for OpenAI
-cline auth -p openai-native -k sk-xxxxx -m gpt-4o
+# View conversation history
+cline task view
 
-# OpenAI-compatible provider with custom base URL
-cline auth -p openai -k your-api-key -b https://api.example.com/v1
+# Start interactive chat with this task
+cline task chat
 ```
 
-# ENVIRONMENT
+# ARCHITECTURE
 
-**CLINE_DIR** :   Override the default configuration directory. When set, Cline stores all data in this directory instead of `~/.cline/data/`.
+Cline operates on a three-layer architecture:
 
-**CLINE_COMMAND_PERMISSIONS** :   JSON configuration for restricting which shell commands Cline can execute. When set, commands are validated against allow/deny patternks before execution. When not set, all commands are allowed.
+**Presentation Layer**
 
-Format: `{"allow": ["pattern1", "pattern2"], "deny": ["pattern3"], "allowRedirects": true}`
+:   User interfaces (CLI, VSCode, JetBrains) that connect to Cline Core via gRPC
 
-**Fields:**
+**Cline Core**
 
-- **allow** (array of strings): Glob patterns for allowed commands. If specified, only matching commands are permitted. Uses `*` to match any characters and `?` to match a single character. Setting allow on anything will deny all others.
-- **deny** (array of strings): Glob patterns for denied commands. Deny rules take precedence over allow rules.
-- **allowRedirects** (boolean): Whether to allow shell redirects (`>`, `>>`, `<`, etc.). Defaults to false.
+:   The autonomous agent service handling task management, AI model integration, state management, tool orchestration, and real-time streaming updates
 
-**Rule evaluation:**
-
-1. Check for dangerous characters (backticks outside single quotes, unquoted newlines)
-2. Parse command into segments split by operators (`&&`, `||`, `|`, `;`)
-3. If redirects detected and `allowRedirects` is not true, command is denied
-4. Each segment is validated against deny rules first, then allow rules
-5. Subshell contents (`$(...)` and `(...)`) are recursively validated
-6. All segments must pass for the command to be allowed
-
-**Examples:**
-
-```bash
-# Allow only npm and git commands.
-export CLINE_COMMAND_PERMISSIONS='{"allow": ["npm *", "git *"]}'
-
-# Allow development commands but deny dangerous ones. Deny not strictly required here since allow is set.
-export CLINE_COMMAND_PERMISSIONS='{"allow": ["npm *", "git *", "node *"], "deny": ["rm -rf *", "sudo *"]}'
-
-# Allow file operations with redirects
-export CLINE_COMMAND_PERMISSIONS='{"allow": ["cat *", "echo *"], "allowRedirects": true}'
-```
